The Nest highlighted it in their promo email they sent out. A lot of the responses were pretty mean, but then there was one that recommended she wean her breastfed baby at 8 months ( because "Many children however stop breastfeeding on their own between 7-? and 12 months.") to get her sex life back. I responded to that, but I thought some of the other posts were funny, like the one that recommended she put her baby in a playpen so she and her husband could have sex. lol

I'm in no shape to give advice about sex right now, so I won't respond. But! Someone suggested pot. For real.

I know - I felt bad for her because she was getting a lot of responses from people who didn't have kids, and from some of the signatures, some people didn't even look like they were married.

I had to stop reading when it was suggested she talk to her "pedestrian". And that woman has 5 kids! *head desk*

Not only does the woman suggest going to the pedestrian ( lol, walk it off! ) but she calls it a "sip-pie cup". I had no idea that it was hyphenated, haha.

I feel bad for her because of those first few responses.  I went ahead and replied (although it's weird for me to put things about my intimate relationship with my DH) because my DH and I struggled for a long time to reconnect physically.  I had PPD as well, so it only made it worse.  I hope my advice will help.

 ha, now I feel dumb.  I thought she was referring to a special sippy cup brand that I was unaware of....

LOL, maybe it is. I will search Target today for a sip-pie cup and let you know, hehe.

Poor woman.  Way to feel attacked by fellow nesters and bumpers........  I'm sure they had had sex in those 2 months, but it probably felt to her like they hadn't.

2 years....... my bad.  BTW I keep trying to reply to her message and it keeps taking me to my nest profile and asking me to update it.  Then every time I hit submit it does it again!  Anybody else have that problem?

Smithleye's profile says she was born in 1939... 

 

ETA: I agree, the responses were ridiculous.

i couldn't even read the whole thread, the responses were so infuritating.  my gosh...it's normal/okay to go through a sex slump, even if it's mostly on the guy's end...it doesn't have to mean he's gay or has "issues."  holy crap.

Ugh. Horrific.

DH and I went almost 7 months without sex (from birth until just a few weeks ago), mainly because I had a extremely painful granuloma and numerous vaginal infections (GBS), and because we lived with my parents and had separate rooms there (DH's choice. He didn't want to sleep with me in the double bed because I part-time bedshare, and he was afraid he'd hurt DD). 

And yes, now that we're living alone together again, we have sex. And it's great. And those 7 months were hard because he didn't connect with me well.. but we survived! 

I just hate how rude and unpleasant people can be.

I used to frequent that board a while back but got burnt out when it turned into a dear abby column. Every post is either about bc or is something like this one and the responses are always "google M/W syndrome", "he's getting off elsewhere" or "you need to initiate or he will cheat".

I certainly don't disagree that a healthy SL is important, but I also don't think a slump means you're headed for the big D. Yes 2 years is a long time, but she didn't say they hadn't done it in 2 years, she just said it wasn't the same. Been there and at the end of the day what I learned is it just takes work - continuous work - to make a marriage fulfilling in all aspects.

Yikes.  I hope she'll XP on the bump and get some more mommy responses.  She needs some people who've BTDT.  And weed, seriously?!?

I do appreciate all of you who were able to read.  It?s so refreshing to know that so many found this typo.  It restores my faith in today?s schools.  I?m appalled that more didn?t find it however.  So from the bottom of my heart ? this old lady thanks you.  I didn?t mean pedestrian but instead meant pediatrician so again thanks.

I?m so glad to know that so many of you never make mistakes ? I wished I could say that for my self too.
